It was great October...

Fall and Winter time is chocolate time - I love baking brownies because they are the perfect treat with a nice cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate.

October in One Word

Warm

We had a super warm October here in Austria. Some days were unfortunately grey and rainy but still warm and we didn't need to bring out the warm winter clothes yet.

5 Things that Happened in October

My blog celebrated its third birthday and I had a week long blogoversary bash with some of my best friends here. I am still a bit shocked that I've been blogging for three years now but I love every minute of it.

I met up with my good friend Judith and her little boy who just started kindergarten and we wanted to go to the playground. He was so tired after a morning in kindergarden that we changed plans and went to Starbucks for some hot chocolate and a cookie instead.

Another friend came to my place for brunch and we had a really nice morning chatting and catching up again.

My mum went on her 2 week trip to the States. She's currently in New Orleans and has a great time, which I am really happy about but I cannot wait for her to come home and tell me everything that she did. Yes, I am a mamma's girl!

My dad and I were invited to dinner at an old family friend. It was a really fun evening with good food and great wine. I love seeing people I've known my whole life. There are always so many memories to talk about.

An Album that Was Popular on my i-Pod

Lady Antebellum brought their new album out in October and I listened to it over and over and over again. I love them and their music.

In October the new season of The Voice started and I've been watching. I love the new and old coaches - Rea Garvey, Samu Haber from Sunrise Avenue, Michi and Smudo from a well-known German Rap Quartet and Stephanie from the German band Silbermond. I am especially fond of Rea and Samu because they are hilarious and such fun to watch. We just started the Battles but I still have no favorites.

Things I am Looking Forward to in November

Obviously my mum coming home again!

It's my grandma's birthday at the beginning of the month and me and my dad are taking her and my dad's dad out to lunch. She sounded thrilled when I suggested it :)

Kerstin Gier is here for a signing on the 14th and I plan on going.

Enjoying a warm cup of mulled wine on the Christmas market for the first time. The first ones open at the 21st of November.

Having a dinner date with some lovely friends.

Felix in October

Felix was a little bit more cuddly than usual but I didn't mind.We spent some evenings watching TV like this.
